Nobody showed up for work because of these ICE RAIDS

All this coveage of the Big Ugly bill and how it will devastate our country. So much in it that won't come out. And they'll pass it anyway to cut taxes for the rich, which was always the point. Quit pretending this can be stopped while they are still in control.

BARTIROMO: China hacked into our telecom system, they've been stealing intellectual property, fentanyl, covid, all of this stuff. How do you negotiate w/ an obvious bad actor? TRUMP: You don't think we do that to them? We do. We do a lot of things. That's the way the world works. It's a nasty world

"One of the things I was thinking about doing..." As if he just came up with the idea of lifting sanctions in exchange for inspections. This is exactly the agreement inherited in 2017, but it had to be killed because it was Obama's agreement.

Lawrence O'Donnell Completely Shreds Leaky Pete Hegseth on his claim that the Iran bombing was the “most complex and secretive military mission” ever.

Here are some of the BBB's cuts to fund giving billionaires $3 trillion in tax breaks. $300 billion in Food Assistance $500 billion in Medicare $800 billion in Medicaid $358 billion in Affordable Care Act #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #WeWontForget

“I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

“The phrase constitutional crisis no longer describes our situation. The Constitution has failed, and we no longer know which institution will rescue it.” True but incomplete: It is finally We the People who alone can rescue it. Political activism is the answer washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/i...

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

Alaska friends, it's time to throw out your garbage

Mark Warner on the Trump admin forcing out the president of the University of Virginia: "This is the most outrageous action this crowd has taken on education ... if they can do it here, they'll do it elsewhere."

Chief Justice John Roberts issued another warning Saturday that heated political rhetoric aimed at judges can spur physical threats and violence. What a hypocritical, two-faced POS this man is. How dare he utter these words whilst continually ruling for the felon?🤬 www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Excellent point here

How stupid are REPUBLICANS? If when the BBB passes and the impacts are felt nationally, trumps polls will be obliterated. HE WILL THEN CLAIM he had NO IDEA what was in the BILL and THROW the entire REP regime under the bus. THIS IS COMING.

Someone is having a very bad birthday

UPDATE: Senate Republicans voted to advance their massive tax and spending bill late Saturday night after hours of delays and negotiations.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson predicts that executive power in the United States will become completely uncontainable that our constitutional republic will cease to exist. I couldn’t agree more with her. Fuck you to everyone who voted for the US version of North Korea.

WELKER: Are you committed to keeping New York as a sanctuary city? MAMDANI: Absolutely

💯 true. Deport her.

Disabled kids like mine rely on Medicaid to survive; this bill cuts Medicaid. I don't know how else to say that medically complex disabled children will die as a result of this bill.

I've never been more embarrassed to be an American. We're the laughing stock of the world, even Russia, China & North Korea are loving this train-wreck try to become more like them. If you're OK with what this bill will do to Americans living at or below the poverty line, you're heartless.

They’re giddy about putting undocumented immigrants into a prison surrounded by alligators. They are such hateful, despicable people that they are fantasizing about human beings being eaten by alligators.

People will die. People will live in the most inhumane and dangerous conditions and homeland security thinks it’s a fucking joke 🤬

This website is the best this website is the best

Mark Warner on why Republicans are supporting Trump's big bill: "A lot of it just is Trump. I wish I could say they're only talking trash on this bill but not other things. The amount of things I hear from Republicans around national security items where they are privately embarrassed ... "

Jim Banks: "The Medicaid, uh, reforms would affect able-bodied Americans. Those who are sitting at home who can work, who don't work, who don't have a sick kid or a sick mom. They shouldn't receive Medicaid without working."

TAPPER: Are you guaranteeing that these changes you are voting for will not hurt recipients in Alabama of Medicaid or food stamps for those who are citizens and truly need it and deserve it? BRITT: Absolutely. What you are talking about is able-bodied, working-aged Americans without dependents

The Mob Boss isn’t happy with Tillis voting against his budget.

Just for the record, the case I filed on behalf of FBI agents who worked on Jan 6 cases, to stop them from being doxxed or retaliated against for doing their jobs, was filed as a class action. It is NOT affected by the SCOTUS ruling.

OMG! My aunt Delores just forwarded me a Zohran Mamdani tweet from April 14, 1865 gloating about Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Why aren’t people talking about this???

law professors have been unable to understand why people are actually concerned about this case. it’s not about nationwide injunctions per se, it’s about a court that waited until the issue hurt the GOP, and then intervened on behalf of one of the most egregious constitutional violations we’ve seen

‼️‼️

“I canceled Obama’s nuclear inspection program, then I bombed Iran. Now, I am offering them pallets of $30 billion in cash, plus another $6 billion, if they agree to negotiate Obama’s plan. It’s called the Art of the Deal.”

Dear Trump: Next time, send a Tier 1 team and the 160th SOAR. Not only will it save money (a LOT of money), you’ll get verifiable results. Dumbshit.

Dozens of Marines are now patrolling the border near Campo, California. Not just in support roles, but shoulder to shoulder with Border Patrol. A direct challenge to the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

The US military did NOT use bunker-buster bombs on one of Iran’s largest nuclear sites last weekend because the site is so deep that the bombs likely would not have been effective, the US’ top general told senators during a briefing on Thursday.

Well done to the many thousands of people in Hungary who are defying dictator Orban by attending a massive pride march even though he banned it in the country. Heroes. 💙🏳️‍🌈

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

Orange Daddy gonna be big mad.

NEW: John Roberts is oblivious. Again. My latest. www.muellershewrote.com/p/john-rober...

BREAKING: Trump lies like it’s his first language. If the media knows he’s spewing bullshit, why are they still airing it? MSNBC did the bare minimum: they cut away and called it what it was—fiction parading as fact. Every network should do this. Every single time. Don’t amplify a conman.

Twice today Trump said something was going to happen in ONE week not two, and I’m not sure how to process that in Trumpspeak because he’s changing up the code. I think it just means we will learn it’s never going a happen a week sooner, but I’m not sure. Developing …

If you ever see John Roberts in person and don’t tell him to go fuck himself, you’ll regret it forever.
